This is not exactly an endorsement of public schools. The religious right is very important to the conservatives. I think it's safe to say that the two often go hand in hand, and the word "many" seems not an exaggeration. 16.2million is hardly a small number and I don't think you can separate 'religious' from the conservative headcount.

Southern Baptist leaders refuse to back public school pullout

GREENSBORO, N.C. There will be no Southern Baptist exodus from the nation's public schools -- at least for now.

Leaders of the nation's largest Protestant denomination refused yesterday to support a resolution urging the creation of an "exit strategy" for pulling Southern Baptist children from public schools. The resolution would have expressed favor for home schools or private Christian schools.

The S-B-C's resolutions committee instead called on members to get involved by exerting "godly influence" on public schools, including running for seats on local school boards.

Many of the nation's 16-point-two (m) million Southern Baptists are concerned about how classrooms are handling subjects such as homosexuality and "intelligent design."

The group's annual meeting wrapped up yesterday in Greensboro, North Carolina.
